Already exported your GoHighLevel site to static files? GitHub Pages will host it for free. Here's how to get it online in about fifteen minutes — plus an honest look at what static hosting can and can't do.
To host a GoHighLevel export on GitHub Pages for free, create a GitHub account and a new public repository, upload your exported static files (the HTML, CSS, JS, and assets), then enable GitHub Pages in the repository's Settings → Pages and choose the branch to serve. Within a minute or two the site is live at a github.io URL, and you can point your own custom domain at it afterwards.
GitHub Pages is a genuinely free static host with HTTPS included, which makes it a natural home for a GoHighLevel site that has been exported to plain HTML, CSS, and JS. The one thing to get right first is the export itself — GitHub Pages can only serve files you already have on disk, so you need a clean static copy of your site before any of this works.
Hosting on GitHub Pages is straightforward once you have the pieces in place. You'll need:
ExportGHLyourbrand.com than the free github.io address.No build tools, command line, or paid plan is needed for a basic static site. If you're comfortable with Git you can push from the terminal, but GitHub's web interface can do the whole job through the browser.
GitHub Pages serves files; it can't reach into GoHighLevel and pull your pages out for you. GoHighLevel has no native "export website" button, so first you need a clean static copy of your site. The simplest route is the ExportGHL Sites Chrome extension, which renders each page and downloads a ZIP of clean static HTML, CSS, and JS with every asset localized.
If you haven't exported yet, follow our guide to exporting a GoHighLevel website first, then come back here. Either way, the input GitHub Pages needs is the same: a folder of static files with a working index.html. One thing to keep in mind — this captures the rendered front end (your pages and their look), not your CRM contacts, membership or course content behind logins, or live form submissions. Those are back-end data and aren't part of a front-end export.
Sign up for a free account at github.com. Once you're in, click New to create a repository, give it a name (for example my-site), set it to Public, and create it. Public repositories are what the free GitHub Pages tier serves.
Unzip your ExportGHL download. GitHub Pages serves whatever folder you tell it to as the web root, and it looks for an index.html at the top of that folder. Arrange your files so your home page's index.html sits at the top level, with the assets folder right alongside it, so the relative links in the HTML still resolve. If your export nests pages inside a subfolder, move the home page's index.html (and its sibling asset folders) up so it's the first thing the host sees.
In your new repository, use Add file → Upload files and drag in the contents of your prepared export folder — the index.html, the assets folder, and any other pages. Scroll down and click Commit changes. (If you prefer the command line, git add ., git commit, and git push to the main branch does the same thing.)
Open the repository's Settings tab, then Pages in the sidebar. Under Build and deployment, set the source to Deploy from a branch, choose main as the branch and / (root) as the folder, and click Save.
Wait a minute or two for the first publish. GitHub Pages will show a banner with your live URL, typically https://yourusername.github.io/my-site/. Open it to confirm the exported site loads correctly. If images or styles are missing, it's almost always a path issue — re-check that your assets folder sits next to index.html as in Step 2.
The free github.io address works immediately, but most people want their own domain. In Settings → Pages, enter your domain under Custom domain and save. Then, at your domain registrar, add the DNS records GitHub asks for — usually a CNAME record pointing a subdomain (like www) to yourusername.github.io, or A records pointing your apex domain to GitHub's published IP addresses.
Once the domain verifies, tick Enforce HTTPS so GitHub provisions a free TLS certificate. DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to a day to propagate, so don't worry if the domain isn't live instantly.
GitHub Pages is static hosting. That's exactly right for an exported GoHighLevel site, which is itself a set of static files — but it's worth being clear about the boundaries so nothing surprises you after you go live.
What it handles well: serving your HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, and other assets, fast and free, over HTTPS. A funnel, marketing site, or blog exported to static HTML displays and navigates just as it looks in the export.
What it can't do on its own: run anything server-side. GoHighLevel forms, booking calendars, payment widgets, chat widgets, and membership or course logins rely on GoHighLevel's back end, so they won't function simply by hosting the static files. You reconnect those features after export using standard third-party embeds — for example a form service like Formspree, a scheduler like Calendly, or a Stripe payment link. Our guide on reconnecting forms and calendars after export walks through this.
One policy point worth checking first: GitHub's own terms generally position Pages as hosting for personal, project, and organization sites rather than as free hosting for an online store or a site whose main purpose is facilitating commercial transactions, and published sites carry size and soft bandwidth limits (on the order of 1 GB per site at the time of writing). A marketing page, portfolio, or blog export sits comfortably inside that; a high-traffic storefront or a checkout-driven sales funnel may be a better fit for a host like Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or a paid plan. If in doubt, review GitHub's current Pages usage limits before you publish.
And to be explicit about data: hosting your pages does not move your contacts or CRM records. Those leave GoHighLevel through its own native CSV contact export, which is a separate task from publishing your front end. If you're also planning to cancel GoHighLevel, check what happens to your account data on the way out — GoHighLevel's terms generally govern data retention and deletion, so review your agency or GHL agreement before you close anything.
GitHub Pages isn't the only free way to host a static GoHighLevel export, and it's worth a quick honest comparison so you pick what suits you:
For a plain static export the files are identical across all three, so there's no wrong choice — go with whichever workflow you're most comfortable maintaining. If you'd like a broader walkthrough of hosting options, see our self-hosting HTML exports tutorial.
Export one page free to see the clean static output, then publish the whole site on GitHub Pages at no cost.
